For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the main outcome of configurational isolation?
The extent to which a team has members working in isolation
from each other is related to decreased members’ awareness
What is the main outcome of spatial dispersion?
Spatial dispersion is most closely related to reductions in
spontaneous communications because it decreases the likelihood
of face-to-face interaction
What is the main outcome and an example of temporal dispersion?
It decreases the potential for synchronous interaction and, thus, reduces real-time problem solving
What is configurational imbalance?
Locations with uneven distribution of team members
What is the main effect of configurational imbalance?
The extent to which a team is imbalanced across sites is related to
increased potential for majority influence and intra group conflict
What is a positive outcome of configurational site dispersion?
Access to a wider variety of nonredundant information
What is a positive outcome of temporal dispersion?
Less performance reducing interruptions
What is a driving factor behind spatial dispersion?
What is a driving factor behind temporal dispersion?
What is an example of a driving factor behind the configurational isolation dimension?
What is an example of a driving factor behind the configurational imbalance dimension?
What is the SDI and what does it incapsulate?
When is spontaneous communication the strongest, based on the SDI?
What does the Time Zone Index (TZI) capture?
Why the choice for a time zone based measure, rather than an overlapping work hours measure?
- Because of the nature of one's sample, does it include significant variations in work hours, days, shifts.
- Because of the source of one's data: do the data include details on members work shifts, days, hours or only members locations?
- Data is easier and more objective when only focussing on time zone's
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
